:MLI might have a chance in women’s 3x3 Basketball (assuming they qualify). They had some good results in 2017, but their form hasn’t been the same since. I still wouldn’t rule them out if they qualify.

well, if Berti qualifies through the next european champs, they have a shot at a medal in the mixed team trap event...

it's still a long shot, but we can't rule it out yet...

 

You really think San Marino could deny Italy next year? :p

What about :LIE they have a decent young swimmer I think?

 

Oh Lichtenstein, the thread killer anomaly :p I will include them in the list, but apart from the others.

 

It would help me if you can name the athlete and the event in which they compete.

Yeah, looking at her times it seems like quite the stretch but LIE doesn't have anything better and it's still a OQT after all.

My criteria for inclusion here will be the following:

 

Individual sports that qualify by mark: anyone that has already achieved OQ time/score/height/distance or that we think is likely to.

 

Other individual sports: anyone that has had a top 8 result at a Wch or OG over the last 4 years (since 2015). If there is a particular world-level event in the sport that isn't WCh or OG but gathers most of the world's best athletes, I'll also consider those results.

 

Team sports: any team with a top 8 result at the latest world championship. I'm taking only the latest because there are always retirements that can greatly affect the level of a team over time. Exceptions: Men's football, since U23 has no World Championship and Basketball 3x3 since it's new and doesn't seem like very organized to me yet (no african or american nations at latest women's WC for example).

For 3x3 Basketball I’d say go off World Series and World Cup

      Because of the low number of votes some categories may be cancelled (under the rule that at least two people should vote for a nominee). I may give a few more days for voting but I guess there's just no interest this year

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      In Italy in recent years there is simply been a problem with training new talents and looking at Colturi, the problem probably isn`t a lack of talented youngsters but poor training. Colturi and Collomb were at similar level a few years ago but where are they now? And this is the same year of born - 2006. Since Goggia and Brignone young time we haven`t trained a single champion. It`s the same with men. Vinatzer is wasting away and regressing in development, the same with della Vite in the giant slalom. The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.

      Homan with a shot for 4 to make things interesting, but the red stone jams on the yellow stone in the back 8 and they only score the 2.   8-5 Peterman/Gallant with hammer coming home. Almost seems inevitable at this point.

      Homan/Bottcher convert on their power-play, with a wide open draw for two. With how this game has been going, and that whiff by Brett, slightly underwhelming of a score but at least it’s something?   Peterman/Gallant up 6-3 and have the hammer in the 6th end.
